Take Charge of Your Health
Credits: 3 credit
When we think about important members of the care team that ensure we are healthy and well, we are quick to point out our physician, nurses, physical therapists and other health care professionals. But the most important part of that team is often left off. That team member? You.
By thoughtfully gathering pertinent information about your health, keeping it in an organized manual, and securing a primary care provider you can call on regularly for well checks and when needs arise, you can greatly improve the quality of care you receive.
Back by popular demand -our latest wellness incentive challenge, Take Charge of Your Health, begins April 11 and challenges you to take the first step in the medical self-care process: Compiling and collecting personal health information, and securing a primary care provider. That’s right. Participants are challenged to develop a “user’s manual” for their own health. After 8 weeks, the confidential Take Charge Manual will contain your vital personal health information that will help you and your health care provider as you create a partnership for better health and health care. The information in the manual is yours alone — it is not required you submit the manual — participants simply verify completion at the end of the wellness challenge. Along the way, participants have an opportunity to reflect on their own health status, and earn My Impact Incentive credit! It is recommended that you update this manual every 2 years to make sure you have no changes and revisit the sections.
This program also includes weekly lifestyle challenges worth points. You will need 32 points and a completed manual checklist to get 3 My Impact Incentive credits.
